Roller boundary condition on Curved surface

[SantiagoKaust]

Dear Community,

How can roller BC be applied on curved surfaces in ABAQUS? Please see the below figure for reference

Thanks,

What is the purpose of this constraint ? Instead of boundary condition you can try using contact with rigid surface having the same curvature - just apply no separation contact so that nodes can’t move in the normal direction but are free to slide.
